My hubby gave this to me on a plaque and I would like to share it with otherwives

-=The Lady in Wait

Men sail to far away places, yet she never says goodbye forever As the sunsetis beautiful, so is she and only her love more so. She is the Lady in Wait.

No creature of God's earth endures more and gives so much, for her mate isamong the men of the sea. For reasons beyond her control, she must rely on herfaith that this man, to she is devoted, loves her equally.

Hers is a mission of love,understanding and trust. A mission of bearing theundeserved pain of lonliness and waiting. The mate must endure hardships, too;but his is a mission of country and honor, and of this she is proud.

These things can open the hearts of the proudest of sailors, for they know thatit is the Lady in Wait that gives that man of far away seas the strength tocontinue; the enormous strength required to endure both the monotony and dangerof an unpredictible and uncontrollable enviroment.

Let us never forget the men that sail the seas to ensure and protect ourfreedom and our way of life, but also let us not forget the Lady in Wait, forit is she that makes it so. Celebrate with us today the Lady in Wait for she ismy Wife.

Remember, dear Lady in Wait that we all love you and appreciate the enormousesacrafices you've made Sacrafices that have enriched us all.

God bless you

I love you
